98) It is advisable not to demand maximum
performance from your vehicle (e.g.
excessive acceleration, long distances at
high speeds, excessively intense braking,
etc.) during the initial period of use.
99) A quick burst on the accelerator before
turning off the engine serves absolutely no
practical purpose; it wastes fuel and is
especially damaging to turbocharged
engines.
WARNING
225) Never run the engine in a closed or
poorly ventilated area any longer than is
needed to move your vehicle in or out of
the area. Carbon monoxide gases are
odourless and can be fatal.
226) Do not operate the engine switch
while driving except in an emergency. If the
engine is stopped while driving, the brake
servomechanism will cease to function and
braking efficiency will deteriorate. Also, the
power steering system will not function and
it will require greater manual effort to
operate the steering. This could result in a
serious accident.
TURBOCHARGER
OPERATION
(where provided)
Turbocharger
100) 101)
The turbocharger increases engine
power by pushing large amounts of air
into the engine’s cylinders. The finned
parts inside the turbocharger turn at
extremely high speeds and are
subjected to extremely high
temperatures. They are lubricated and
cooled by engine oil. If the engine oil is
not replaced at the specified intervals,
the bearings may seize or emit
abnormal noise.
1. Air compressor 2. Compressed air
3. Cylinder 4. Turbo fin 5. Turbine
6. Exhaust gas
IMPORTANT
100) Do not run the engine at high speeds
(for example, by revving it or by
accelerating rapidly) immediately after
starting it.
101) Do not stop the engine immediately
after high-speed or uphill driving. First allow
the engine to idle to give the turbocharger a
chance to cool down.
